IgA   IM. 1.1.    1.50  g/l  norm- 0.7-4

 

Transglutaminase Ab ( IgA )  IM.2.6.1  0.3 U/ml  <7.0 ( borderline : 7-10, positive: >10)

 

Gliadin Ab ( deamidated, IgG ) IM.4.8.3 

0.7  U/ml   <7.0 ( <7  borderline: 7-10, positive: >10 )

 

P.S. 

But I didn’t eat gluten for 3 months and when I went to the doctor, I told him about this, he warned me that I should start eating gluten again for 20 days, but I couldn’t stand it that long. I was only able to hold out for 10 days and on the 10th day, I did these tests.

Welcome to the forum, @Nora Sofian!

None of the test results you listed are positive and you are not IGA deficient. Unfortunately, being gluten free for so long and then returning to gluten consumption for only 10 days may have rendered the testing invalid.

Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" after three months of being gluten free are the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of bread) for at least two weeks.

But let me ask you, did your symptoms improve while off of gluten for three months? What are your symptoms when on gluten? Have you considered the possibility that you might not have celiac disease but NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity)? They share many of the same symptoms but NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel and so there is not test for it. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease.

My symptoms were: bloating either diarrhea or constipation heaviness in my stomach after eating, even if I haven't eaten much redness of the skin under the eyes and in the corners of the lips irritation, aggression, insomnia, joint pain, numbness of hands greasy stool swelling under the eyes (fluid stagnation in the body) As soon as I eliminated gluten, after 2 days I felt an improvement, and over time all these symptoms went away. But when I started eating gluten again for tests, my diarrhea did not stop, almost all the symptoms returned, now I don’t eat gluten again, but the redness on my face still hasn’t completely gone away.

Try taking collagen to repair your intestines. There was a children's doctor back in 1970s who gave B complex injection to heal lining. Also selenium helps with inflammation. A liquid B complex by quantum nutrition can act like a shot

Thanks for advice @JB007 I’ll read about it.

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.

      The positive DQ2 result is important since it suggests a genetic predisposition to celiac, but the bloodwork not showing clear signs is confusing. The inflammation in her stomach could still be related, and it’s worth pushing for more tests, like a biopsy or a deeper look at other possible causes. It’s a tough spot, but you’re on the right track trying to get clarity.
    • dublin555
      I totally agree, it’s so much more than just the physical struggle that occurs, there is the emotional struggle that goes along with it. It’s almost like you’re always navigating people who are uncomfortable with your needs and that pressure really wears you down. The fact is, the one that really did care will understand. This has nothing to do with you being a burden, it’s about protecting your health, first and foremost. If they don’t like being honest, that’s their problem.

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and... Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/
